Discussion
Today will be another day on the chilly side around here, but a major warm up will begin in earnest on Thursday as southwesterly winds pick up and temperatures climb to the middle 60’s despite plenty of clouds. Temperatures will climb well into the 70's for highs on Friday and Saturday - perhaps even reaching the 80 degree mark in some spots. It could turn a lot colder on Sunday depending on the movement of a back door cold front and then soaking rain is likely from Sunday night into Monday as colder air pushes in from the west. That soaking rain on Sunday night/Monday may be accompanied by some thunderstorm activity as well as the overall pattern transitions back to colder-than-normal from the late week surge of warm air.
